RALEIGH, N.C. — A driver was charged with felony hit-and-run Friday morning after police say she crashed into a road construction worker.

Officials said Amber Stovall, 32, of Rock Service Station Road, was likely under the influence of alcohol at the time. In addition to hit-and-run, she was charged with carrying unsealed wine or liquor in her car.

Amber Stovall, 32, was charged with felony hit-and-run Friday morning after police say she crashed into a road construction worker. 

Around 3:30 a.m., the victim, a 43-year-old flag worker, stopped Stovall and other cars on Rock Quarry Road near Interstate 40.

Police said Stovall, who was in a white van, got impatient and crashed into the flag worker. Stovoll fled the scene, but workers were able to chase after her van, and one construction worker jumped through her window to stop her.

The flag worker was taken to WakeMed with minor injuries.
